I think we're definitely getting McStay or someone similar. My main concern is that we also need mids, especially inside mids. One would be good, two would be better. We always lose JDG or Adams for a third of a seaon each, and nobody else plays that role (though Jaicos is getting better at the inside stuff).RudeBoy wrote:I'm with you P4s. Given that we should have Kreuger available next year, I don't see the need for another tall forward. If anything we need a big bodied full back and another strong bodied quality midfielder.Pies4shaw wrote:Is it still OK to want to puke at the idea of recruiting either?

Could Mitch Wallis (186 cm and 86kgs) be a cheap inside midfield option?
He turns 30 in October, but would come relatively cheap and is known to kick a goal or two on his day.
I would not be opposed to grabbing Goldstein for two seasons- he is a quality tap ruckman who is also capable in the forward half.

If he was good enough, he'd be in Melbourne's senior side.

Here's an interesting opinion article about McStay possibly coming to Collingwood.
"Collingwood’s commitment to securing Brisbane’s Daniel McStay baffles me."
- Actually it has baffled me too as it has many here on this forum.

I must admit, I dont understand our apparent priority targets atm. We need above all else I think another big bodied mid. If we had such a player right now, we would be up to our eyeballs in winning the flag.
I think the lack of an extra one is where we might fall short this year.
Therefore, why aren't we going all out to grab one now?
The best solution to getting a replacement for Grundy is not to trade him. We simply have no idea how extra good he can become under our new coaches and within the new gameplan. He was injured early in the season, before our team had been fully able to master and execute the new game style. We have no idea what impact he could be having now.

Hoping that Craig McRae will perform a miracle on Brodie Grundy and turn him into a player worth his contract is like going to the casino, chasing your losses and going bankrupt, when winning gamblers have warned you to stop yourself from going full tilt and to cut your losses.Magpietothemax wrote: The best solution to getting a replacement for Grundy is not to trade him.

Getting rid of Grundy before you know what he can achieve under Fly is like selling your shares just before a bull run.Wonka wrote:Hoping that Craig McRae will perform a miracle on Brodie Grundy and turn him into a player worth his contract is like going to the casino, chasing your losses and going bankrupt, when winning gamblers have warned you to stop yourself from going full tilt and to cut your losses.Magpietothemax wrote: The best solution to getting a replacement for Grundy is not to trade him.

not really, he cannot get past sideshow bob Ben Brown, Frtczhe and McDonald, just not room for him, there.
